Short summary
The study addresses the significance of the coil geometry, number of turns, orientation, and mass flow on heat transfer performance. The outcome proves experimentally that such parameters have substantial impact on the rate of heat transfer as well as coil effectiveness. The study outcome is beneficial to wide technical sectors whose have interest in utilizing water pool as a coolant medium such as oil and gas companies, power plants, petrochemicals industries, and other firms.
